PWA?

Hi, I'd like to know if you have any plans to integrate PWA into FluentCommunity. I know it's possible, since this very site uses PWA, but is there any update or news on this? I'm currently using the PWA from FluentAddons, but I've noticed errors on my site and no longer trust the developer. That's why I'm asking β€” I'd like to have an official and reliable integration.

Mike MΒ I’m working on a free PWA/Push notification addon, should be available this month - if you send me a message I’ll let you know when it’s available.

Ross FCA

David ChurchillΒ you're starting to sound super familiar David. Be careful of over promising and commiting to timelines you can't keep. I know from experience.

Ross FCAΒ Any plans to make your PWA free? I think it would bring more people to your plugin ecosystem before other devs release their PWAs. Then you could create a premium version by offering something other plugins don't have.

Ross FCA

MarekΒ Sure could but I'd not be able to support it at all.

Marek

Ross FCAΒ I see, do you think having a few fully supported addons would work better than developing many? Also, do you use AI to test them?

Ross FCA

MarekΒ I mean like customer support not technical. I couldn't provide a free plugin and provide free support for it. Not enough hours in the day πŸ˜… it's pretty straightforward to set up though and I'd happily provide it for free with the understanding the setup would be self directed.

Marek

Ross FCAΒ Feel free to share it with the FC community then! I've never asked customer support for free plugins, assuming the plugin is being updated.

David ChurchillΒ Hi David, is your PWA plugin published now? If it is, where can we use it from? You said it would arrive by this month. Thank you.

Marek

Ross FCAΒ Thanks! Does it include push notifications?

Ross FCA

What errors are you getting? Any particular reason you don't "trust" me?

I also need it too... Homemade by wpmanageninja

I have been patient for years now, waiting for their release or recommendation

PWA from Ross is the most stable thing in my whole community! The only thing I am missing is on iOS devices, I need my logo as a waiting feature before the community is loaded.

The "PWA" curiosity issue has been expressed often times in this community, especially after the official Fluent Community started using "push notifications" on the site. But the official team has not yet disclosed anything about what PWA/Push Notifications solution they are using...despite several queries from the community members. Won't it be a pleasant revealation and an empathetic gesture from the WPManageNinja and its Captain Shahjahan Jewel and his crew to say a word or two about this PWA/Push Notification solution which they are brilliantly enjoying while their passengers are simply curiosity-stricken.....!!!!

We have PWA on our notes, as you can see, this site, it's already configured for PWA.

Tawsif Ahmed RiyadΒ Great response...

Marek

Tawsif Ahmed RiyadΒ Can you provide a release window? I've been waiting for it since last year...

Fluent team is going to launch PWA too, not sure as separate product or not. However im going to do it as well, because i really dont think fluent team will do it the way i need it - uploadable to all possible app stores.

CointacterΒ I really wait to see your plugin man. I have a good feeling

Ioannis GlossopoulosΒ haha i know youre one of the realest here. You mean specifically the pwa Plugin? My favorite from my side will actually be gamification, because this is my lifestyle, and bridge to web3 for WP within that gamification.

Ross FCAΒ Hello Ross, I got notified about your comment here and many thanks to you for providing your PWA plugin. I just downloaded it sometimes ago and tested it. It works very well in the mobile view with all the required settings as options to choose from based on one's preferences (desktop I have not tested). The app experience feels lightweight as well and the design options to match your personal taste... that is also impressive. It's already a pleasant surprise and I am not sure if it is moral/immoral, fitting or not fitting on my part to ask you for the push notification here. I have got some limitations barring me from getting the add on through the most proper channel. So, I leave it to you and respect and adore your instincts in this regard. Thank you Ross.

arjun arjunΒ Hey glad to hear it's all working so far. I will release a simple version of push notifications for free, again with limited support. The full version works well with my real time presence add-on and suppresses notifications if you're actively browsing etc which wouldn't be included. It will just be self hosted and for fcom activity also, I'm about to release external service support and custom notification broadcasts for pro users.

Ross FCAΒ Thanks Ross for your valuable contribution. Appreciate what you are doing.

Ross FCA

For anyone else still waiting on a PWA solution you can download my version free here. Once enabled you'll get a back end menu item settings > FCA PWA. In here you can configure all your settings and enable PWA. Choose your prompt style, banner/pop-up/widget etc and users can start installing your app straight away.
